YES!
Edzackly.  It's way too simplistic to assume that because we can (do)
form silver chloride from ionic or even micro-particulate EIS silver in
a jar, that that is what is happening in  the mammal stomach, or blood,
or lymph.  How silver is bound, or transported in living tissue is
largely unknown; how ANY metal is moved about inside us, why certain
metals concentrate in certain tissues - all are questions with poorly
defined answers.
Take care,
